Adventures in Improv Class

-->

Last week, in drama, we were working on making scenery for a play about the three bears and when the girls weren’t there, Pip drew a TV in his bear’s room. Naya came back and was like “Hey, you can have a TV in your room?!” and Pip responded “Sure, everyone can watch TV!”  Then Naya was working on her room and drew a TV as well. She started saying a little story to herself “We have two tvs in our house.Even bears can watch TV, they come in and turn it on and are like ‘Hey! This is fun!’ But they don’t watch the same things, so we need two satellite dishes.”

Today we took the Dolphin kids swimming and the little boys were just so adorable, I could hardly take it. Pip can swim pretty well but he’s still pretty tiny so he wanted me close by all the time to watch him to tricks and catch him when he cannonballed. I was looking at him thinking of the fact that he was only 3 when I first met him and he is growing up so fast. I wish he could stay this age forever because he says the funniest things and is just so darn cute! Then Daniel, who can’t swim at all, was attached to me for a large part of the day encased in his innertube and wanting me to take him to the deep end over and over. He can be such a troublemaker but he is so darn cute, it’s hard to stay mad at him for long.

Once, in class, I had all the kids say something nice about the person to their right and left. When we had gone around the circle, one of the kids asked to say something nice about someone not next to them, and Olive said “Daniel is sooooooooo adorable!” to which Naya replied, “yep, he’s super adorable, but he misbehaves ALL THE TIME!” to which Daniel grinned a huge grin, toothless and all as if to say “yes, I OWN that description.” He talks so fast all the time, sometimes I can’t understand him. Orawan always says that he’s like my real kid because he talks so fast no one can keep up with him. It makes me so sad because his dad really loves him, but can’t take care of him properly because of his job hours. He wants to send Daniel to a children’s home so he can still go to school and be taken care of properly. All the staff think I should take him, but since they are also all living with me at the moment, I’m not sure exactly where they think he would stay. Not to mention all the other things wrong with that scenario.
